In answer to all of you who asked about our little bundle’s lineage… Winnie is a Mini-GoldenDoodle - her father being a Golden Retriever and her Mom, a Poodle. She is 12 weeks old, weighs 8 pounds and is expected to ultimately weigh in at around 25 pounds. I would imagine that there’s a good chance her Mom had a romance with a strong, handsome male and the result was our sweet Winnie. We were originally looking for a Rescue Dog… but soon discovered that they were in extremely short supply because of increased adoptions due to COVID-19.

Some of you also wondered how puppy training is going. Well, let’s just say we’re considering changing her name from “Winnie” to “Winnie the Poo” (for obvious reasons). Just kidding!
